steadfast will gradually raise your speed over time and bullet punch can help negating the flinch effect, which will then allow it to outspeed it and be faster than the next opponent, due to it's 90 base speed comparing to other pokemon. Avoiding Pokemon like Tapu Koko and Garchomp is great at the beginning of the battle. dark types show up around, yes, but unless you want to use a clickbait strategy with a psychic type leading then it probably won't work, as they're going to know that you are going to switch.
